Move over, St. Patrick, and make way for the Messiah . . .
Mary McAleese, the President of Ireland, used quasi-religious terms to discuss Pres. Obama in an interview with Meredith Vieira broadcast on this mornings Today. Watch as McAleeses face lights up at the mere mention of his name.
MEREDITH VIEIRA: Barack Obama, our new president. I understand much loved here, in part because hes a native son.
MARY MCALEESE: Absolutely, from Moneygall, County Offaly.
VIEIRA: So hes an Irish boy, in your book.
MCALEESE: For sure. For sure. I mean, even if he wasnt, I think we would have such faith and hope in him.
It got even more worshipful . . .

The list is hard to maintain: He's MLK, JFK, FDR, Lincoln, the Messiah, the Old Testament prophet Nehemiah ...
... and he's Irish too!

“View video here.”
No thank you. We should have the opposite of the “Ann Coulter” rule, no pix of the Obambi.
It makes me sick to even see him. I despise and loathe him. He's such a fake, fraud and phony. An amateur.
A total fraud.

Can there be any more false hope and undeserved worship of the fuhrer?
I mean, really, it will only be more obvious if people were to say “at least he made the trains run on time”!!
This is sad, sick, and, well, I can see why some say it was foretold.

True story: I was talking to someone at work yesterday and one of her employees walked up to ask her something. After the question was answered, the employee said - I kid thee not - "Did you know Obama is Irish? I love him even more, now!"
These people are just flat-out creepy.

The wife and I are visiting Ireland next month. We’ve decided not to engage in any discussions about Obama with the Obama-loving Irish. “We’re just here to have a good time, sir or madam.”
To: manic4organic
makes me rethink wanting to go as well...
i guess i didn’t realize that the Irish were that infatuated with him...i am very disturbed by this.
what could be so exciting about obama from an Irish perspective? i am not excited about other world leaders...possibly scared if they are lunatics, like ahmedinajad...but certainly not infatuated.
